Potential platform for DIY parallel hybrid: Subaru Justy AWD

AJI - now that makes things even MORE interesting.

If I had the rear suspension/differential from that Suzuki-bodied Justy, I might be able to stick it in my car.

Afraid to ask how much shipping will be though

The whole floor is different on the AWD Suzuki Swift/Justy/Cultus. And the Swift-based Justy was never sold over here.

But things are easier on the 1988-1991 Civic Wagons! I can add a rear diff if I had the suspension and subframe from an AWD Civic Wagon. And with the extra torque of an electric motor, I could swap in a CRX HF drivetrain. But I wouldn't want to start such a project with the rust bucket I'm driving, it's too far gone to invest a lot of time into it.

Didn't you mess around with electric drive in the back of a 4wd Civic once? I seem to remember reading something on your web site.

Wasn't me. I've thought about it, but I don't think I ever mentioned it on my site. I've never even had a 4WD Civic.
